U+A71E "ꜞ" Modifier Letter Raised Inverted Exclamation Mark Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+A71E "ꜞ" Modifier Letter Raised Inverted Exclamation Mark is a specialized typographic symbol used primarily in phonetic transcription and linguistic notation, particularly for the Teuthonista system and other extended Latin alphabet applications. This character represents a raised version of the inverted exclamation mark, serving as a diacritic or modifier to indicate specific prosodic or suprasegmental features such as tone, stress, or emphasis in written language. Its design is smaller and positioned above the baseline compared to a standard punctuation mark, allowing it to be combined with letters without disrupting the flow of text. The character was added to the Unicode Standard to support accurate representation of certain historical and scholarly texts where such precise phonetic modifications are necessary.
